The Plataran Resort is a luxurious tropical hideaway which is located a short drive from the busy port of Labuan Bajo, gateway to the magnificent Komodo National Park. The location of the resort is key as it offers easy access to the port, airport, and Labuna Bajo’s up-and-coming dining scene, yet the quality of accommodation is several levels higher than anything else in the immediate area. 15 villas are dotted along a stretch of pristine private beach, all of which bear the classic Plataran hallmarks: oversize, luxuriously furnished, kitted out in with a fine mix traditional stylings and modern amenities. There are three venues for dining: laidback Atlantis Beach Club, the open-air Xanadu, and refined Atlantis on the Rock, the latter offering arguably the finest sunset view in Labuan Bajo. Excursions into the National Park are available right off the resort jetty, which also serves as base for Plataran’s own collection of private charter boats. Downtime at the resort can be spent along that magnificent stretch of beach, in the small spa or gym, or around the attractive swimming pool.
